He said: "We're defending it in every city in every town all across the world," he said. "It's going to be everywhere I'm going to be. Anytime that title can be defended, it will be defended and I'll be there to defend it." Seth ‘Freaking’ Rollins also took some stars’ names against whom he would love to defend his title.
“If he can survive Brock Lesnar, I would love for him to try to.” - Seth Rollins on Cody Rhoades
Rollins added: "The list goes on and on and on. I want them all." Meanwhile, he also mentioned his long-time rival, Cody Rhoades name. Rhoades is currently in a feud with Brock Lesnar. After the Money in the Bank, the ‘American Nightmare’ claimed that it would be amazing if he goes for the title.
Regarding that, Rollins also welcomed him and said: "I would love for Cody Rhodes come try to take it from me. If he can survive Brock Lesnar, I would love for him to try to. I'm better than I've ever been; he don't stand a chance." Meanwhile, Rollins also shared his experience over his recent return to NXT for NXT Gold Rush in an interview with Out of Character (via Fightful).
He said: “It was very cool for me to go back and have that moment. One of the things I talk about is helping the younger talent and pushing the industry forward. The opportunity was presented to me to go down to NXT and I haven’t wrestled a match on the show in over ten years. Obviously, it moved from Full Sail to the Performance Center and the look, the feel, and the vibe was totally different and it had gone through so many different iterations over the years, but it’s still NXT.”
